I didn’t sleep a
wink last night. That would be stress. And after a brekkie I didn’t want (stress
again) I set off to the train station. For once the price of a ticket to
London as charged at the ticket office agreed with the price quoted by the web
site. As the train went through the Kent countryside I soon lost interest in my
Kindle app and stared out of the window. So much flooding. I know we’ve had a
lot of rain recently, but I had no idea how flooded so much of the county was.
Once at Waterloo
East I walked (via three geocaches) to Kennington where… One day I will
blog at great length about why I went to Kennington today and why I now work in
Canterbury, and why I am so skint these days, but not today. However I will say
that after an ordeal which I would not wish on my worst enemy a blot has been
expunged from my escutcheon.
I made my way back
to Waterloo via another geocache. The rain started so I thought I might take a
bus. I didn’t though. I tried. The surly git driving the bus grunted that the
fare was £2.40. I offered him a fiver. He refused to take it as he wouldn’t
give me any change. He claimed that it was company policy only to accept
correct money and not to offer change. What rubbish! So I walked up Kennington
Lane in the rain, and shall make a formal complaint about the driver of bus
DW279 when I get a minute.
I got on the rush
hour train, and got back to Ashford to find torrential rain. But time was
pressing so I pushed on to astro club. Bearing in mind the success of “Stargazing
Live” a couple of weeks ago the turn-out tonight was disappointing. I
expect the weather was to blame. But we had a good meeting; it was only a shame
I had to leave early. I couldn’t stay as late as I would have liked; I’ve got
to work this weekend…
